This session will help you challenge your assumptions and open up to encountering people, cultures, and ideas outside your comfort zone.

Dr. Jana helps participants identify and address the systemic and institutional biases to which we are all vulnerable. This session covers what systemic bias is, how it is perpetuated, and how you, as an individual, can disrupt its mechanisms.
